STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

This invention was made with government support under CA121279; CA069568; and CA097248 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention.

BACKGROUND

The aggressive cancer cell phenotype is the result of a variety of genetic and epigenetic alterations leading to deregulation of intracellular signaling pathways (Ponder, Nature 411:336 (2001)). Cancer cells typically fail to execute an apoptotic program, and lack of appropriate apoptosis due to defects in the normal apoptosis machinery is considered a hallmark of cancer (Lowe et al., Carcinogenesis 21:485 (2000)). The inability of cancer cells to execute an apoptotic program due to defects in the normal apoptotic machinery is often associated with an increase in resistance to chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy-induced apoptosis. Primary or acquired resistance of human cancer of different origins to current treatment protocols due to apoptosis defects is a major problem in current cancer therapy (Lowe et al., Carcinogenesis 21:485 (2000); Nicholson, Nature 407:810 (2000)). Accordingly, current and future efforts towards designing and developing new molecular target-specific anticancer therapies to improve survival and quality of life of cancer patients must include strategies that specifically target cancer cell resistance to apoptosis.

The p53 tumor suppressor plays a central role in controlling cell cycle progression, senescence, and apoptosis (Vogelstein et al., Nature 408:307 (2000); Goberdhan, Cancer Cell 7:505 (2005)). MDM2 and p53 are part of an auto-regulatory feed-back loop (Wu et al., Genes Dev. 7:1126 (1993)). MDM2 is transcriptionally activated by p53 and MDM2, in turn, inhibits p53 activity by at least three mechanisms (Wu et al., Genes Dev. 7:1126 (1993). First, MDM2 protein directly binds to the p53 transactivation domain and thereby inhibits p53-mediated transactivation. Second, MDM2 protein contains a nuclear export signal sequence, and upon binding to p53, induces the nuclear export of p53, preventing p53 from binding to the targeted DNAs. Third, MDM2 protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase and upon binding to p53 is able to promote p53 degradation.

Although high-affinity peptide-based inhibitors of MDM2 have been successfully designed in the past (Garcia-Echeverria et al., Med. Chem. 43:3205 (2000)), these inhibitors are not suitable therapeutic molecules because of their poor cell permeability and in vivo bioavailability. Despite intensive efforts by the pharmaceutical industry, high throughput screening strategies have had very limited success in identifying potent, non-peptide small molecule inhibitors. Accordingly, there is a need for non-peptide, drug-like, small molecule inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 interaction.

The structural basis of the interaction p53 and MDM2 has been established by x-ray crystallography (Kussie et al., Science 274:948 (1996)).

Spiro-oxindole-based antagonists of the p53-MDM2 interaction are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,759,383 B2 and 7,737,174 B2.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure contemplates that exposure of animals suffering from cancer to therapeutically effective amounts of drug(s) (e.g., small molecules) that increase the function(s) of p53 and p53-related proteins (e.g., p63, p73) inhibits the growth of cancer cells or supporting cells. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein inhibit the interaction between p53 or p53-related proteins and MDM2 or MDM2-related proteins (e.g., MDMX). Inhibiting the interaction between p53 or p53-related proteins and MDM2 or MDM2-related proteins inhibits the growth of cancer cells or supporting cells and/or renders such cells as a population more susceptible to the cell death-inducing activity of cancer therapeutic drugs or radiation therapies. In some embodiments, the inhibitors provided herein prolong the half-life of p53 by interfering with the p53-MDM2 interaction that would normally promote degradation of p53 The compounds provided herein satisfy an unmet need for the treatment of multiple cancer types, either when administered as monotherapy to induce senescence, cell growth inhibition, apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest in cancer cells, or when administered in a temporal relationship with additional agent(s), such as other cell death-inducing or cell cycle disrupting cancer therapeutic drugs or radiation therapies (combination therapies), so as to render a greater proportion of the cancer cells or supportive cells susceptible to executing the apoptosis program compared to the corresponding proportion of cells in an animal treated only with the cancer therapeutic drug or radiation therapy alone.

In some embodiments, treatment of animals with a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compounds provided herein and an anticancer agent produces a greater anti-tumor activity and clinical benefit in such animals compared to those treated with the compound or anticancer drugs/radiation alone. Put another way, because the compounds provided herein can lower the apoptotic threshold of cells that express p53 or p53-related protein, the proportion of cells that successfully execute the apoptosis program in response to the apoptosis inducing activity of anticancer drugs/radiation will be increased when used in combination with one or more of the compounds provided herein. Alternatively, the compounds provided herein can be used to allow administration of a lower, and therefore less toxic and more tolerable, dose of an anticancer drug and/or radiation to produce the same tumor response/clinical benefit as the conventional dose of the anticancer drug/radiation alone. Since the doses for all approved anticancer drugs and radiation treatments are known, the present compounds, compositions, and methods provided herein can be used with one or more approved anticancer drugs and/or radiation treatment. Also, since the compounds provided herein may act at least in part by stimulating the pro-apoptotic and/or cell cycle-inhibiting activities of p53 and p53-related proteins, the exposure of cancer cells and supporting cells to therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds can be temporally linked to coincide with the attempts of cells to execute the apoptosis program in response to the anticancer drug or radiation therapy. Thus, in some embodiments, administering the compounds or compositions provided herein in combination with other known anticancer drugs provide especially efficacious therapeutic practices.

In other embodiments, the inhibitors of the interaction between p53 or p53-related proteins and MDM2 and MDM2-related proteins provided herein may protect normal (e.g., non-hyperproliferative) cells from the toxic effects of certain chemotherapeutic agents and radiation, possibly through the ability of the inhibitors to induce cell cycle arrest of normal cells. For example, the inhibitors provided herein may cause cell cycle arrest in cells comprising wild-type or functional p53 (and/or wild-type or functional p53-related proteins) while having no or less effect on cancer cells comprising mutated, deleted, or otherwise non- or less functional p53 (and/or mutated, deleted, or otherwise non- or less functional p53-related proteins). This differential protective effect may allow for more effective treatment of cancer by allowing the use of higher doses or longer treatments of chemotherapeutic agents or treatments without increasing the toxic side effects of such treatment when administered in combination with inhibitors provided herein.

Applicants have found that certain spiro-oxindoles provided herein display an unexpected combination of drug-like properties. The unexpected combinations include, e.g., two or more of in vitro efficacy, in vivo efficacy, in vitro liver microsome stability, desirable absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties. For example, certain spiro-oxindoles provided herein are more resistant to metabolic degradation e.g., as measured by in vitro liver microsomal stability and/or in vivo pharmacokinetics, and/or display improved in vivo efficacy as compared to known antagonists of the p53-MDM2 interaction.

Applicants have also found that metabolically cleavable groups can be used to increase the aqueous solubility of the parent molecule. Thus, in some embodiments, the spiro-oxindoles provided herein are useful prodrugs with improved aqueous solubility relative to the parent molecule.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Provided herein are compounds that inhibit the interaction between p53 or p53-related proteins and MDM2 or MDM2-related proteins. By inhibiting the negative effect of MDM2 or MDM2-related proteins on p53 or p53-related proteins, these compounds sensitize cells to inducers of apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein induce apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest. Therefore, also provided herein are methods of sensitizing cells to inducers of apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest and to methods of inducing apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest in cells. In some embodiments, the methods comprise contacting the cells with one or more compounds provided herein alone or in combination with additional agent(s), e.g., an inducer of apoptosis or a cell cycle disrupter.

Also provided herein are methods of treating, ameliorating, or preventing disorders in an patient, comprising administering to the patient one or more compounds provided herein and additional agent(s), e.g., an inducer of apoptosis. Such disorders include those characterized by a dysregulation of apoptosis and those characterized by the proliferation of cells expressing functional p53 or p53-related proteins. In other embodiments, methods of protecting normal (e.g., non-hyperproliferative) cells in an animal from the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic agents and treatments are provided. The methods comprise administering to the animal one or more compounds provided herein.

DEFINITIONS

The term “anticancer agent” as used herein, refers to any therapeutic agent (e.g., chemotherapeutic compound and/or molecular therapeutic compound), antisense therapy, radiation therapy, or surgical intervention, used in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer (e.g., in mammals, e.g., in humans).

The term “prodrug” as used herein, refers to a pharmacologically inactive derivative of a parent “drug” molecule that requires biotransformation (e.g., either spontaneous or enzymatic) within the target physiological system to release, or to convert (e.g., enzymatically, physiologically, mechanically, electromagnetically) the prodrug into the active drug. Prodrugs are designed to overcome problems associated with stability, water solubility, toxicity, lack of specificity, or limited bioavailability. Exemplary prodrugs comprise an active drug molecule itself and a chemical masking group (e.g., a group that reversibly suppresses the activity of the drug). Some prodrugs are variations or derivatives of compounds that have groups cleavable under metabolic conditions. Prodrugs can be readily prepared from the parent compounds using methods known in the art, such as those described in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard (eds.), Gordon & Breach, 1991, particularly Chapter 5: “Design and Applications of Prodrugs”; Design of Prodrugs, H. Bundgaard (ed.), Elsevier, 1985; Prodrugs: Topical and Ocular Drug Delivery, K. B. Sloan (ed.), Marcel Dekker, 1998; Methods in Enzymology, K. Widder et al. (eds.), Vol. 42, Academic Press, 1985, particularly pp. 309-396; Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, 5th Ed., M. Wolff (ed.), John Wiley & Sons, 1995, particularly Vol. 1 and pp. 172-178 and pp. 949-982; Pro-Drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, T. Higuchi and V. Stella (eds.), Am. Chem. Soc., 1975; and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, E. B. Roche (ed.), Elsevier, 1987.

Exemplary prodrugs become pharmaceutically active in vivo or in vitro when they undergo solvolysis under physiological conditions or undergo enzymatic degradation or other biochemical transformation (e.g., phosphorylation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, glycosylation). Prodrugs often offer advantages of water solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism. (See e.g., Bundgard, Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1985); and Silverman, The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, pp. 352-401, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif. (1992)). Common prodrugs include acid derivatives such as esters prepared by reaction of parent acids with a suitable alcohol (e.g., a lower alkanol) or esters prepared by reaction of parent alcohol with a suitable carboxylic acid, (e.g., an amino acid), amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with an amine, basic groups reacted to form an acylated base derivative (e.g., a lower alkylamide), or phosphorus-containing derivatives, e.g., phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphoramidate esters, including cyclic phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphoramidate, see, e.g., US 2007/0249564 A1.

The term “metabolically cleavable group” as used herein, refers to groups which can be cleaved from the parent molecule by metabolic processes and be substituted with hydrogen. Certain compounds containing metabolically cleavable groups may be prodrugs, i.e., they are pharmacologically inactive. Certain other compounds containing metabolically cleavable groups may be antagonists of the interaction between p53 and MDM2. In such cases, these compounds may have more, less, or equivalent activity of the parent molecule. Examples of metabolically cleavable groups include those derived from amino acids (see, e.g., US 2006/0241017 A1; US 2006/0287244 A1; and WO 2005/046575 A2) or phosphorus-containing compounds (see, e.g., U.S. 2007/0249564 A1) as illustrated in Scheme 1.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein, refers to any salt (e.g., obtained by reaction with an acid or a base) of a compound provided herein that is physiologically tolerated in the target animal (e.g., a mammal). Salts of the compounds of provided herein may be derived from inorganic or organic acids and bases.

For a more detailed description of anticancer agents and other therapeutic agents, those skilled in the art are referred to any number of instructive manuals including, but not limited to, the Physician's Desk Reference and to Goodman and Gilman's “Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics” tenth edition, Eds. Hardman et al., 2002.

In some embodiments, methods provided herein comprise administering one or more compounds provided herein with radiation therapy. The methods provided herein are not limited by the types, amounts, or delivery and administration systems used to deliver the therapeutic dose of radiation to an animal. For example, the animal may receive photon radiotherapy, particle beam radiation therapy, other types of radiotherapies, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the radiation is delivered to the animal using a linear accelerator. In still other embodiments, the radiation is delivered using a gamma knife.

The source of radiation can be external or internal to the animal. External radiation therapy is most common and involves directing a beam of high-energy radiation to a tumor site through the skin using, for instance, a linear accelerator. While the beam of radiation is localized to the tumor site, it is nearly impossible to avoid exposure of normal, healthy tissue. However, external radiation is usually well tolerated by animals. Internal radiation therapy involves implanting a radiation-emitting source, such as beads, wires, pellets, capsules, particles, and the like, inside the body at or near the tumor site including the use of delivery systems that specifically target cancer cells (e.g., using particles attached to cancer cell binding ligands). Such implants can be removed following treatment, or left in the body inactive. Types of internal radiation therapy include, but are not limited to, brachytherapy, interstitial irradiation, intracavity irradiation, radioimmunotherapy, and the like.

The animal may optionally receive radiosensitizers (e.g., metronidazole, misonidazole, intra-arterial Budr, intravenous iododeoxyuridine (IudR), nitroimidazole, 5-substituted-4-nitroimidazoles, 2H-isoindolediones, [[(2-bromoethyl)-amino]methyl]-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol, nitroaniline derivatives, DNA-affinic hypoxia selective cytotoxins, halogenated DNA ligand, 1,2,4 benzotriazine oxides, 2-nitroimidazole derivatives, fluorine-containing nitroazole derivatives, benzamide, nicotinamide, acridine-intercalator, 5-thiotretrazole derivative, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole, 4,5-dinitroimidazole derivative, hydroxylated texaphrins, cisplatin, mitomycin, tiripazamine, nitrosourea, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, fluorouracil, bleomycin, vincristine, carboplatin, epirubicin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, etoposide, paclitaxel, heat (hyperthermia), and the like), radioprotectors (e.g., cysteamine, aminoalkyl dihydrogen phosphorothioates, amifostine (WR 2721), IL-1, IL-6, and the like). Radiosensitizers enhance the killing of tumor cells. Radioprotectors protect healthy tissue from the harmful effects of radiation.

Any type of radiation can be administered to an animal, so long as the dose of radiation is tolerated by the animal without unacceptable negative side-effects. Suitable types of radiotherapy include, for example, ionizing (electromagnetic) radiotherapy (e.g., X-rays or gamma rays) or particle beam radiation therapy (e.g., high linear energy radiation). Ionizing radiation is defined as radiation comprising particles or photons that have sufficient energy to produce ionization, i.e., gain or loss of electrons (as described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,581 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The effects of radiation can be at least partially controlled by the clinician. In one embodiment, the dose of radiation is fractionated for maximal target cell exposure and reduced toxicity.

In one embodiment, the total dose of radiation administered to an animal is about 0.01 Gray (Gy) to about 100 Gy. In another embodiment, about 10 Gy to about 65 Gy (e.g., about 15 Gy, 20 Gy, 25 Gy, 30 Gy, 35 Gy, 40 Gy, 45 Gy, 50 Gy, 55 Gy, or 60 Gy) are administered over the course of treatment. While in some embodiments a complete dose of radiation can be administered over the course of one day, the total dose is ideally fractionated and administered over several days. Desirably, radiotherapy is administered over the course of at least about 3 days, e.g., at least 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 25, 28, 32, 35, 38, 42, 46, 52, or 56 days (about 1-8 weeks). Accordingly, a daily dose of radiation will comprise approximately 1-5 Gy (e.g., about 1 Gy, 1.5 Gy, 1.8 Gy, 2 Gy, 2.5 Gy, 2.8 Gy, 3 Gy, 3.2 Gy, 3.5 Gy, 3.8 Gy, 4 Gy, 4.2 Gy, or 4.5 Gy), or 1-2 Gy (e.g., 1.5-2 Gy). The daily dose of radiation should be sufficient to induce destruction of the targeted cells. If stretched over a period, in one embodiment, radiation is not administered every day, thereby allowing the animal to rest and the effects of the therapy to be realized. For example, radiation desirably is administered on 5 consecutive days, and not administered on 2 days, for each week of treatment, thereby allowing 2 days of rest per week. However, radiation can be administered 1 day/week, 2 days/week, 3 days/week, 4 days/week, 5 days/week, 6 days/week, or all 7 days/week, depending on the animal's responsiveness and any potential side effects. Radiation therapy can be initiated at any time in the therapeutic period. In one embodiment, radiation is initiated in week 1 or week 2, and is administered for the remaining duration of the therapeutic period. For example, radiation is administered in weeks 1-6 or in weeks 2-6 of a therapeutic period comprising 6 weeks for treating, for instance, a solid tumor. Alternatively, radiation is administered in weeks 1-5 or weeks 2-5 of a therapeutic period comprising 5 weeks. These exemplary radiotherapy administration schedules are not intended, however, to limit the methods provided herein.

Antimicrobial therapeutic agents may also be used as therapeutic agents in combination with the compounds provided herein. Any agent that can kill, inhibit, or otherwise attenuate the function of microbial organisms may be used, as well as any agent contemplated to have such activities. Antimicrobial agents include, but are not limited to, natural and synthetic antibiotics, antibodies, inhibitory proteins (e.g., defensins), antisense nucleic acids, membrane disruptive agents and the like, used alone or in combination. Indeed, any type of antibiotic may be used including, but not limited to, antibacterial agents, antiviral agents, antifungal agents, and the like.

In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, one or more compounds provided herein and one or more therapeutic agents or anticancer agents are administered to an animal under one or more of the following conditions: at different periodicities, at different durations, at different concentrations, by different administration routes, etc. In some embodiments, the compound is administered prior to the therapeutic or anticancer agent, e.g., 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, or 18 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks prior to the administration of the therapeutic or anticancer agent. In some embodiments, the compound is administered after the therapeutic or anticancer agent, e.g., 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, or 18 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks after the administration of the anticancer agent. In some embodiments, the compound and the therapeutic or anticancer agent are administered concurrently but on different schedules, e.g., the compound is administered daily while the therapeutic or anticancer agent is administered once a week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, or once every four weeks. In other embodiments, the compound is administered once a week while the therapeutic or anticancer agent is administered daily, once a week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, or once every four weeks.

In some embodiments, compositions provided herein comprise one or more of the compounds provided herein in an amount which is effective to achieve its intended purpose. While individual needs vary, determination of optimal ranges of effective amounts of each component is within the skill of the art. Typically, the compounds may be administered to mammals, e.g. humans, orally at a dose of 0.0025 to 50 mg/kg, or an equivalent amount of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, per day of the body weight of the mammal being treated for disorders responsive to induction of apoptosis. In one embodiment, about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg is orally administered to treat, ameliorate, or prevent such disorders. For intramuscular injection, the dose is generally about one-half of the oral dose. For example, a suitable intramuscular dose would be about 0.0025 to about 25 mg/kg, or from about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg.

The unit oral dose may comprise from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg, for example, about 0.1 to about 100 mg of the compound. The unit dose may be administered one or more times daily as one or more tablets or capsules each containing from about 0.1 to about 10 mg, conveniently about 0.25 to 50 mg of the compound or its solvates.

In a topical formulation, the compound may be present at a concentration of about 0.01 to 100 mg per gram of carrier. In a one embodiment, the compound is present at a concentration of about 0.07-1.0 mg/ml, for example, about 0.1-0.5 mg/ml, and in one embodiment, about 0.4 mg/ml.

In addition to administering the compound as a raw chemical, the compounds provided herein may be administered as part of a pharmaceutical preparation. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical preparation can include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, and/or auxiliary. In some embodiments, the one or more carriers, excipients, and auxiliaries facilitate processing of the compound into a preparation which can be used pharmaceutically. The preparations, particularly those preparations which can be administered orally or topically and which can be used for one type of administration, such as tablets, dragees, slow release lozenges and capsules, mouth rinses and mouth washes, gels, liquid suspensions, hair rinses, hair gels, shampoos and also preparations which can be administered rectally, such as suppositories, as well as suitable solutions for administration by intravenous infusion, injection, topically or orally, contain from about 0.01 to 99 percent, in one embodiment from about 0.25 to 75 percent of active compound(s), together with the one or more carriers, excipients, and/or auxiliaries.

The pharmaceutical compositions of provided herein may be administered to any patient which may experience the beneficial effects of the compounds provided herein. Foremost among such patients are mammals, e.g., humans, although the methods and compositions provided herein are not intended to be so limited. Other patients include veterinary animals (cows, sheep, pigs, horses, dogs, cats and the like).

The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof may be administered by any means that achieve their intended purpose. For example, administration may be by parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, buccal, intrathecal, intracranial, intranasal or topical routes. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration may be by the oral route. The dosage administered will be dependent upon the age, health, and weight of the recipient, kind of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the nature of the effect desired.

The pharmaceutical preparations provided herein are manufactured by means of conventional mixing, granulating, dragee-making, dissolving, or lyophilizing processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipients, optionally grinding the resulting mixture and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired or necessary, to obtain tablets or dragee cores.

Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as saccharides, for example lactose or sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, as well as binders such as starch paste, using, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone. If desired, disintegrating agents may be added such as the above-mentioned starches and also carboxymethyl-starch, cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate. Auxiliaries can be suitable flow-regulating agents and lubricants. Suitable auxiliaries include, for example, silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings which, if desired, are resistant to gastric juices. For this purpose, concentrated saccharide solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. In order to produce coatings resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations such as acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose phthalate, are used. Dye stuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings, for example, for identification or in order to characterize combinations of active compound doses.

Other pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active compounds in the form of granules which may be mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds are in one embodiment dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, or liquid paraffin. In addition, stabilizers may be added.

Possible pharmaceutical preparations which can be used rectally include, for example, suppositories, which consist of a combination of one or more of the active compounds with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides, or paraffin hydrocarbons. In addition, it is also possible to use gelatin rectal capsules which consist of a combination of the active compounds with a base. Possible base materials include, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycols, or paraffin hydrocarbons.

Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form, for example, water-soluble salts and alkaline solutions. In addition, suspensions of the active compounds as appropriate oily injection suspensions may be administered. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, for example, sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example, ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension include, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, and/or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain stabilizers.

The topical compositions provided herein are formulated in one embodiment as oils, creams, lotions, ointments and the like by choice of appropriate carriers. Suitable carriers include vegetable or mineral oils, white petrolatum (white soft paraffin), branched chain fats or oils, animal fats and high molecular weight alcohol (greater than C₁₂). The carriers may be those in which the active ingredient is soluble. Emulsifiers, stabilizers, humectants and antioxidants may also be included as well as agents imparting color or fragrance, if desired. Additionally, transdermal penetration enhancers can be employed in these topical formulations. Examples of such enhancers can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,989,816 and 4,444,762.

Ointments may be formulated by mixing a solution of the active ingredient in a vegetable oil such as almond oil with warm soft paraffin and allowing the mixture to cool. A typical example of such an ointment is one which includes about 30% almond oil and about 70% white soft paraffin by weight. Lotions may be conveniently prepared by dissolving the active ingredient, in a suitable high molecular weight alcohol such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol.

The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting, of the compounds, compositions, and methods provided herein. Other suitable modifications and adaptations of the variety of conditions and parameters normally encountered in clinical therapy and which are obvious to those skilled in the art are within the spirit and scope of the methods, compounds, and compositions provided herein.

MDM2 Inhibitors

U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,759,383 B2 and 7,737,174 B2 disclose MDM2 inhibitors including MI-219 (AT-219), MI-319 and MI-147 (Chart 1).

To further evaluate MI-219, MI-147, and MI-319 as potential anticancer drug candidates for clinical development, a series of experiments were carried out to evaluate their metabolic and pharmacokinetic properties.

Incubation of MI-219, MI-147 and MI-319 with human, rat and dog microsomes in vitro showed that the concentration of each of these three compounds decreased rather quickly (Table 2). These data suggested that MI-219, MI-147 and MI-319 are metabolized fairly rapidly in vitro by rat, dog and human microsomes.

Pharmacokinetic studies (PK) of MI-219 in Male Sprague Dawley rats showed that MI-219 was orally bioavailable (Tables 3-4). For example, following oral administration of MI-219 at dose of 25 mg/kg, the mean±SD values of Cmax (maximum plasma concentration) and Tmax for MI-219 were 3751.78±1067.86 μg/L, 0.58±0.38 hr, respectively; the mean±SD values of AUC(0-∞) (area-under-the-curve) and half-life (T½) for MI-219 were 7689.94±325.86 hr*μg/L and 1.43±0.09 hr, respectively. The plasma concentrations of MI-219 decreased fairly rapidly, from 2957 ng/ml at 1 hr time-point, to 224 ng/ml at 4 hr time-point, further to 103 ng/ml at 6 hr time-point. The calculated oral bioavailability in rats for MI-219 using the 25 mg/kg oral dosing and 5 mg/kg IV dosing as the references was 65.45±2.77%.

PK studies of MI-219 in ICR mice showed that MI-219 was orally bioavailable in mice (Tables 5-7). At 50 mg/kg oral dosing, MI-219 reached the maximum concentration (Cmax) of 8469 ng/ml at 2 hr time-point and had an AUC of 8469±2381 hr*ug/L. The concentrations of MI-219 were 3077±2296, 378±128 and 121±133 ng/ml at 3 h, 5 h and 9 h, respectively. The calculated oral bioavailability (F) for MI-219 in mice is 54.9±19.0%.

PK studies of MI-219 in Beagle dogs showed that MI-219 was orally bioavailable in dogs (Tables 8-11). At 10 mg/kg oral dosing, MI-219 reached the maximum concentration (Cmax) of 2893±726 ng/ml at 1 hr time-point and had an AUC of 7947±2396 hr*ug/L. The concentrations of MI-219 were 1500±599, 759±314, 483±152, 327±147, 178±92 ng/ml at 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hr time-point, respectively. The calculated oral bioavailability (F) for MI-219 in dogs is 22.8%.

PK studies of MI-219 in Cynomolgus Monkeys showed that MI-219 was orally bioavailable in monkeys (Tables 12-13). At 50 mg/kg oral dosing, MI-219 reached the maximum concentration (Cmax) of 1257±837 at 3.3 hr by curve fitting and had an AUC of 8199±5717 hr*ug/L. The concentrations of MI-219 were 1121.42±951.73, 796.07±703.14, 341.82±273.89 and 17.60±7.21 at 4, 6, 8 and 24 hr time-point, respectively. The calculated oral bioavailability (F) of MI-219 in moneys is 13.89%.

Oral administration of MI-219 in mice bearing SJSA-1 and LnCAP human xenograft tumors was indeed effective tumor growth inhibition at 200-300 mg/kg daily dosing or twice a day for a period of 2 weeks (Shangary et al. 2008, PNAS). SJSA-1 cells are derived from the primary tumor or a patient diagnosed with primitive multipotential sarcoma of the femur. SJSA-1 cells harbor an amplification of the MDM2 gene. LnCAP cells are androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cells derived from a metastatic tumor of a patient diagnosed with prostate cancer. These data indicate that MI-219 is an orally active MDM2 inhibitor.

These metabolic and PK studies also revealed that MI-219 is metabolized fairly quickly. Hence, further chemical modifications of MI-219 to improve upon its metabolic and PK parameters may yield new MDM2 inhibitors as better drug candidates for treatment of human cancer and other conditions through targeting human MDM2 and activation of p53.

Provided herein are new compounds that inhibit p53-MDM2 interaction. The compounds provided herein have, inter alia, improved metabolic stability and/or pharmacokinetic properties and oral bioavailability.

Detailed studies were performed to determine the metabolism of MI-219 in vitro using human and rat microsomes and in vivo using rats.

Metabolite Identification

Sample Preparation:

Metabolites in Liver Microsome Incubation:

MI-219 (or other compounds) was incubated with pooled liver microsomes in phosphate buffer at 37° C. The final concentrations of the compound, HLM, beta-NADPH, phosphate buffer and MgCl₂ were 20-50 μM, 1 mg/ml, 1 mM, 0.1 M and 3.3 mM, respectively, in 0.4 ml of mixture solution. The percentage of MeOH in the incubation mixture was kept less than 0.2% (v/v). Samples were incubated for 60 min and the reaction was terminated with 1.2 mL of ice-cold acetonitrile to precipitate proteins. Two different controls were prepared by using boiled microsomes (100° C. for 5 min) or spiking MI-219 after protein precipitation. Samples were subsequently centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was analyzed by LC/MS/MS.

Metabolites in rat plasma: MI-219 was i.v. injected into male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=6, weight range 200-220 g) sat a dose of 5 mg/kg. MI-219 was i.v. injected at a dose of 5 mg/kg. Blood samples were collected from the retro-orbital plexus of rats under light ether anesthesia into microfuge tubes containing heparin as an anti-coagulant at 0.166, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 h post-injection. Plasma was harvested by centrifuging the blood at 13000 rpm for 5 min at 4° C. and stored frozen at −80±10° C. until analysis.

Screening and characterization of metabolites with LC-MS/MS: MI-219 and other compounds were injected into mass spectrometer to obtain their MS, MS² and MS³ spectra. Based on the similarities and difference among their mass spectra, the possible fragmentation pathways of protonated MI-219 and several lead compounds were proposed. Three characteristic product ions were selected to generate 240 ion channels for MRM screening by using Metabolite ID software (Applied Biosystems), including 40 common biotransformation processes. To search all the metabolites, two other scan modes, EMS full scan and precursor scan were also conducted. Only the components detected in the sample and absent in all the control samples were regarded as possible metabolites. To identify the possible metabolites, both the sample and controls were injected on the LC-MS for EPI and MS³ scans to obtain their MS² and MS³ spectra. Based on the MS², MS³ spectra of the metabolites and the proposed fragmentation pathways of MI-219 and other compounds, the metabolites were characterized.

FIG. 13A-D shows the MS/MS spectra of protonated MI-219, MI-142, MI-63 and MI-708B. Based on these MS/MS spectra and MS³ spectra of the major product ions such as m/z 496, 419, 363, 320, 285, 188, the fragmentation pathways of protonated MI-219 were proposed (Scheme 5). Supporting evidence for the proposed fragmentation was obtained by tracking the functional groups of the MI-219 derivatives. The presence and absence of mass shifts of the product ions provide the structural information the product ions.

FIG. 14A-B shows the MS/MS spectra of deprotonated MI-219 and MI-142. The product ion m/z 306 was detected in the MS/MS spectra of both two compounds. The product ion of MI-219 at m/z 243 and the product ion of MI-142 at m/z 257 suggested the product ions of MI-219 at m/z 306 and 243 were generated by cleaving the pyrrolidine ring. The metabolites of MI-219 were tentatively elucidated by comparing their major product ions with that of MI-219.

FIG. 15B shows the MS/MS spectrum of M1. The presence of m/z 419, 363, 320 and 285 suggested that the metabolic site was not on the core structure. The detection of product ions at m/z 186 and 104, which have a mass shift of 2 Da compared with m/z 188 and 106 of MI-219, suggested that the dehydrogenation occurred on the side chain. To confirm the structure of M1, two ketone compounds were synthesized by oxidizing either hydroxyl group of MI-219. The two compounds were found to be interconvertible. FIGS. 15A and 15C show that the synthesized compound exhibited the same HPLC retention time and mass spectral pattern, suggesting that M1 is derived from the oxidation of one hydroxyl group of MI-219.

FIG. 16 shows the plasma concentrations of MI-219 and M1 in the rats. The elimination rates of the two compounds are similar.

Besides M1, another metabolite (M2) with a molecular weight of 567 Da was detected at 4.76 min on the chromatogram. FIG. 17 shows the MS/MS spectra of protonated M2 (A) and deprotonated M2 (B). M2 showed a mass shift of 16 Da compared with MI-219, suggesting that the biotransformation was probably hydroxylation. The absence of m/z 419 and 320 in FIG. 17A suggested that the hydroxylation occurred on the core structure. The presence m/z 306 and 259 in FIG. 17B indicated that the hydroxylation occurred on the m/z 243 moiety of MI-219. Hence, it is inferred that the hydroxylation occurred on the 3,3-dimethylbutan-1-amine moiety. The loss of 116 Da from m/z 568 to m/z 452 is attributed to the elimination of hydroxylized 3,3-dimethylbutan-1-amine radical. This radical loss of 116 Da was also detected in the hydroxylized metabolites of other MI-219 analogues such as MI-773, MI-519-63 and MI-519-64, which is discussed later. The hydroxylation of the amine is expected to facilitate the homolysis of the N—C bond. Hence, the hydroxyl group is assigned to the amine of pyrrolidine ring.

Besides M1 and M2, the other 6 metabolites of MI-219 in human liver microsome incubation were tentatively characterized. Their possible structures, chromatographic retention times, characteristic product ions and peak areas are listed in Table 14.

Metabolism studies thus established that the primary metabolic site in MI-219 is on its “tail.” Furthermore, since two other promising MDM2 inhibitors, MI-147 and MI-319, also contain the same diol tail, their tail is also susceptible for quick metabolism. The compounds provided herein include new MDM2 inhibitors with different tails that may afford improved metabolic stability. In addition, for the purpose of drug development, it is highly desirable to obtain new MDM2 inhibitors with not only improved metabolic stability but also good oral bioavailability.

Direct modifications on the “diol” tail, which led to a series of new compounds, e.g., MI-519-24, MI-519-28, MI-519-29, MI-519-31, and MI-758. Binding experiments showed that these new analogues bind to MDM2 with good affinities (Table 19A). Furthermore, they also effectively inhibit cell growth in tumor cell lines with wild-type p53 and show selectivity over tumor cell lines with mutated or deleted p53, consistent with their mechanism of action.

Microsomal stability studies showed that MI-758, MI-519-24, MI-519-28 and MI-519-29 have an improved stability over MI-219 in rat liver microsomes. MI-758 and MI-519-28 also have an improved stability over MI-219 in human liver microsomes. These data indicate that the microsomal stabilities for the same compounds may be quite different between rat and human microsomes (Table 15).

Analogues containing different “tail” groups (Chart 2) were also investigated to further examine what kinds of tails would be more stable in rat or human liver microsomes. The microsomal stability data for these analogues are summarized in Table 16. The microsomal stability data showed that MI-122 and MI-126 have an improved rat microsomal stability over MI-219.

Based upon the improved microsomal stability, a series of new analogues were designed and synthesized (Chart 3). The microsomal stability test showed that MI-519-40, MI-519-43 and MI-763 have an improved microsomal stability over MI-219, whereas several others have comparable or inferior microsomal stability as compared to MI-219 (Table 17).

Since it is highly desirable to obtain orally bioavailable compounds, several MDM2 inhibitors were evaluated for their pharmacokinetic properties in rats. The data are summarized in Table 18. Unfortunately, MI-122, MI-126, MI-519-24, MI-519-28 and MI-519-29, which have an improved microsomal stability over MI-219, have much inferior oral pharmacokinetic parameters in rats as compared to AT-219. One exception is MI-758, which shows good oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic parameters. These data indicate that it is difficult to design MDM2 inhibitors with an improved microsomal stability and good pharmacokinetic properties when dosing orally. Interestingly, MI-225, which has an inferior microsomal stability to MI-219, has a good oral bioavailability.

Based upon these data, it is proposed that in order to achieve good oral bioavailability for MDM2 inhibitors, a charge neutral “tail” is preferred. Furthermore, MI-225 achieved a good oral bioavailability, although it has an inferior microsomal stability to MI-219. Therefore, a number of compounds containing a 4-, 5- and 6-membered ring with a hydroxyl group attached to it for the “tail” were prepared.

Biological testing showed that the configuration of the hydroxyl group plays an important role for cellular activity, which was not expected. For example, MI-519-60 is more potent than its epimer MI-519-63, and MI-519-64 is more potent than its epimer MI-519-65, in inhibition of cell growth in multiple cancer cell lines with wild-type p53 (Table 19A).

Microsomal stability studies showed that while MI-519-51 has an inferior stability to MI-219 in both human and rat liver microsomes, MI-773 is more stable than MI-219 in human liver microsomes and MI-519-63 has a comparable microsomal stability to MI-219 (Tables 21-24).

Pharmacokinetic studies were performed on MI-519-51 and MI-773 and the data are summarized in Tables 25-26. The PK data showed that while MI-519-51 has inferior overall PK parameters to MI-219 in both intravenous and oral routes of dosing, MI-773 has improved PK parameters over MI-219 in both intravenous and oral routes of dosing. For example, the AUC values in both routes of administration for MI-773 are 2-times higher than that for MI-219 at the same dose. These data indicated that MI-773 has a good pharmacokinetic profile in both intravenous and oral routes of dosing in rats and a good oral bioavailability. Furthermore, the major difference in their pharmacokinetic parameters between MI-519-51 and MI-773 cannot be predicted based upon their chemical structures.

To facilitate the design of new MDM2 inhibitors to further improve their overall PK profiles, metabolism studies on MI-773 and MI-519-63 were performed.

The major metabolites of MI-773 in human liver microsome incubation were characterized. FIGS. 18A-D show the MS/MS spectra of protonated MI-773 and three metabolites of MI-773 (M1, M2 and M3). As shown in the MS/MS spectra of M1 and M2, the presence of m/z 419 and 320 suggested the dehydrogenation and hydroxylation did not occur on the core structure. The presence of m/z 114, a mass shift of 2 Da compared with m/z 116 of protonated MI-773, indicated that the metabolic sites located on the cyclohexane side chain. The chemical structures of MI-773 and M1 are shown in Chart 4.

The biotransformation pathways of MI-519-63 in human liver microsome incubation were investigated. The detection of m/z 419, 363, 320 and 285 in MS/MS spectra (FIGS. 19A-C) of both protonated MI-519-63 and M1 indicated that the dehydrogenation occurred on the cyclobutane side chain, which was further confirmed by the detection of the product ion of M1 at m/z 112, showing a mass shift of 2 Da compared with the product ion of MI-519-63 at m/z 114. The MS/MS spectrum of M2 showed a very similar pattern to that of MI-773-M3 and MI219-M2. The hydroxylation was inferred to occur on the amine of pyrrolidine ring. The proposed biotransformations of MI-519-63 are shown in Chart 5.

Compounds provided herein include spiro-oxindole MDM2 inhibitors that were designed based upon these metabolism studies of MI-773 and MI-519-63.

Binding and cellular studies showed that while MI-519-64 and MI-519-65 bind to human MDM2 protein with high affinities and effectively inhibit cancer cell growth in cancer cell lines with wild-type p53, MI-519-64 is several times more potent than MI-519-65.

Microsomal stability studies showed that MI-519-64 has an improved microsomal stability over MI-519-63 (Tables 22-24).

Since the hydroxyl group in MI-773 and MI-519-63 can be metabolized to give a ketone, replacement of this hydroxyl with a sulphonylamide group was investigated as a means to generate MDM2 inhibitors with improved microsomal stability and/or good oral bioavailability (see MI-771 and MI-772).

Binding and cellular studies showed that while both MI-771 and MI-772 bind to human MDM2 protein with high affinities and effectively inhibit cell growth in cancer cell lines with wild-type p53, MI-772 is several times more potent than MI-771.

Microsomal stability studies showed that MI-772 is very stable, much more stable than MI-773 and also MI-219 (Tables 21 and 23). Surprisingly, MI-771 has a very poor microsomal stability (Tables 21 and 23). The microsomal stability data on MI-772 and its epimer MI-771 show that the configuration of the —NHSO₂Me group has a substantial impact on the microsomal stability of these compounds, which was not expected.

Pharmacokinetic studies in rats showed that MI-772 has a long half-life in rats in both intravenous and oral routes of dosing (Tables 25 and 26) and has a modest oral bioavailability. In comparison, MI-771 has a very poor pharmacokinetic profile in both intravenous and oral routes of dosing. Thus, the configuration of the —NHSO₂Me group in MI-771 and MI-772 has a substantial impact on their pharmacokinetic profiles.

Example 2 Fluorescence-Polarization MDM2 Binding Assay

The binding affinity of the MDM2 inhibitors was determined using an optimized, sensitive and quantitative fluorescence polarization-based (FP-based) binding assay using a recombinant human His-tagged MDM2 protein (residues 1-118) and a fluorescently tagged p53-based peptide.

The design of the fluorescence probe was based upon a previously reported high-affinity p53-based peptidomimetic compound (5-FAM-βAla-βAla-Phe-Met-Aib-pTyr-(6-Cl-LTrp)-Glu-Ac3c-Leu-Asn-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 1)) García-Echeverría et al., J. Med. Chem. 43: 3205-3208 (2000)). This tagged peptide is called PMDM6-F. The K_(d) value of PMDM6-F with the recombinant MDM2 protein was determined from the saturation curve. MDM2 protein was serially double diluted in a Dynex 96-well, black, round-bottom plate, and the PMDM6-F peptide was added at 1 nM concentration. The assay was performed in the buffer: 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5; 100 μg/mL bovine gamma globulin; 0.02% sodium azide, 0.01% Triton X-100) and the polarization values were measured after 3 h of incubation using an ULTRA READER (Tecan U.S. Inc., Research Triangle Park, N.C.). The IC₅₀ value was obtained by fitting the mP values in a sigmoidal dose-response curve (variable slope) with a non-linear regression, and was determined to be 1.40 nM±0.25. The K_(d) value was calculated using the equation: K_(d) value=IC₅₀−L0/2. L0/2 is the concentration of the free ligand (PMDM6-F). Since PMDM6-F was used at a final concentration of 1 nM, L0/2 was 0.5 nM.

Dose-dependent, competitive binding experiments were performed with serial dilutions of a tested compound in DMSO. A 5 μL sample of the tested compound and pre-incubated MDM2 protein (10 nM) and PMDM6-F peptide (1 nM) in the assay buffer (100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5; 100 μg/mL bovine gamma globulin; 0.02% sodium azide, 0.01% Triton X-100), were added in a Dynex 96-well, black, round-bottom plate to produce a final volume of 125 pt. For each assay, the controls included the MDM2 protein and PMDM6-F (equivalent to 0% inhibition), PMDM6-F peptide alone (equivalent to 100% inhibition). The polarization values were measured after 3 h of incubation. The IC₅₀ values, i.e. the inhibitor concentration at which 50% of bound peptide is displaced, were determined from a plot using nonlinear least-squares analysis. Curve fitting was performed using GRAPHPAD PRISM software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). As presented in Tables 19A-D and FIGS. 23 and 24, compounds provided herein are potent MDM2 antagonists. Compounds shown in Tables 19A-D as the free base were tested either as the free base or as the CF₃CO₂H (TFA) or HCl salt. In general, comparable assay responses are expected between the free base and salt form of a compound.

Example 3 Cell Growth Assay

Isogenic HCT-116 colon cancer cell lines were a kind gift from Prof. Bert Vogelstein (Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Md.) and were maintained in McCoy's 5A medium containing 10% FBS. All other cell lines were obtained from ATCC, (Manassas, Va.) and were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS.

Cells were seeded in 96-well flat bottom cell culture plates at a density of 2−3×10³ cells/well with compounds and incubated for 4 days. The rate of cell growth inhibition after treatment with increasing concentrations of the tested compounds was determined by WST-8 (2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium monosodium salt (Dojindo Molecular Technologies Inc., Gaithersburg, Md.). WST-8 was added at a final concentration of 10% to each well, and then the plates were incubated at 37° C. for 2-3 hrs. The absorbance of the samples was measured at 450 nm using a TECAN ULTRA Reader. The concentration of the compounds that inhibited cell growth by 50% (IC₅₀) was calculated by comparing absorbance in the untreated cells and the cells treated with the compounds using the GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, Calif. 92037, USA). The results of this assay are presented in Tables 19A-D.

Example 4 Cell Death Assay

Cell death assays were performed using trypan blue staining Cells were treated in the presence and absence of indicated compounds. Both the floating and adherent cells were stained with trypan blue. Cells that stained blue or the morphologically unhealthy cells were scored as dead cells. At least 100 cells were counted in each of three separate areas under microscope.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 30, and 31 MDM2 inhibitors provided herein induce cell death in SJSA-1 and RS4; 11 cancer cells with wild-type p53.

Example 5 Western Blotting

For Western blot analysis, cells were lyzed in ice-cold RIPA buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM b-glycerophosphate, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate and 1 μg/ml leupeptin. The proteins in the whole cell lysates were detected by Western blot analysis using the following antibodies: anti-p53 (clone DO-1), anti-MDM2 (clone SMP-14), anti-p21 (clone SX118), anti-β-actin (clone AC-40) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; HRP conjugated). As shown in FIGS. 2-4, 27, 28, and 32-25, MDM2 inhibitors provided herein are active in this assay.

Example 6 In Vitro Microsomal Stability

The in vitro stability of the MDM2 inhibitors provided herein was determined using rat and/or human liver microsomes as shown in Tables 20-24.

Example 7 Pharmacokinetic Studies in Rats

Pharmacokinetic studies on MDM2 inhibitors were carried out in rat. For comparison, the MDM2 inhibitor, AT-219, was also studied. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and summarized in Tables 25 and 26, MDM2 inhibitors provided herein have promising ADME properties in rat. In particular, MI-773 displays high oral bioavailability; MI-772 displays a long plasma half-life. MI-774, the amino acid ester prodrug of MI-773, also has good oral bioavailability. Of note, in the pharmacokinetic evaluation of MI-774, the concentration of MI-773 was measured.

Example 8 In Vivo Efficacy Studies Using SJSA-1 Xenograft Model

SJSA-1 tumor cells were harvested with Trypsin (0.05%)-EDTA (0.53 mM) (GIBCO™, Invitrogen Corp.), growth medium added and cells placed on ice. A cell sample was mixed 1:1 with Trypan Blue (GIBCO™, Invitrogen Corp.) and counted on a hemocytometer to determine the number of live/dead cells. Cells were washed once with 1×PBS (GIBCO™, Invitrogen Corp.) and resuspended in PBS. For Matrigel injections, after washing in PBS, cells are resuspended in an ice cold mixture of 1:1 PBS and Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Invitrogen Corp.) for a final Matrigel protein concentration of 5 mg/ml. SJSA-1 tumors were inoculated into C.B-17 SCID mice at 5×10⁶ cells in 0.1 ml with Matrigel. Cells were injected s.c. into the flank region of each mouse using a 27 gauge needle.

The size of tumors growing in the mice was measured in two dimensions using calipers. Tumor volume (mm³)=(A×B2)/2 where A and B are the tumor length and width (in mm), respectively. During treatment, tumor volume and body weight was measured three times a week. After the treatment was stopped, tumor volume (FIGS. 7, 9, 11, and 36) and body weight (FIGS. 8, 10, 12, and 37) was measured at least once a week. Mice were kept for an additional 60 days for further observation of tumor growth and toxicity.

Before treatment began, tumors were allowed to grow to 60-140 mm³ in volume, at which point the blood vessel supplies to the tumor should have been established. Mice with tumors within acceptable size range were randomized into treatment groups of 8 mice for experimental compounds and 10 mice for the Control group. Experimental compounds were given orally, once per day for 2-3 weeks. The Control group received vehicle alone (10% PEG 400: 3% Cremophor: 87% PBS). Statistical analyses of the in vivo efficacy of MDM2 inhibitors on SJSA-1 tumors are presented in Tables 27-29.

These data indicate good in vivo efficacy for certain MDM2 inhibitors of the disclosure, particularly MI-519-63, MI-773 and MI-519-64, without significant weight loss in the animals.

Example 12 Synthesis of MI-773

Step 1

To a stirred solution of oxindole 1 (4.19 g, 25 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was added aldehyde 2 (3.96 g, 25 mmol) and piperidine (2.45 mL, 25 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and the yellow precipitate was collected, washed successively with methanol, hexanes, and ethyl ether and dried to give compound 3 (6.25 g, 81% yield).

Step 2

To a solution of compound 3 (6.25 g, 21 mmol) in toluene (75 ml) was added compound 4 (5.43 g, 21 mmol), compound 5 (2.15 g, 21 mmol) and 4 Å molecular sieves (4 g). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight and filtrated. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=9:1 to 5:1) to give compound 6 (8.78 g, 65% yield).

Step 3

The solution of compound 6 (965 mg, 1.5 mmol) and amine 7 (346 mg, 3 mmol) in 5 mL of THF was stirred at room temperature for 2 days and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1:1 to 1:4) to give compound 8 (819 mg, 72% yield).

Step 4

To an ice-bath cooled solution of compound 8 (800 mg, 1.05 mmol) in CH₃CN (8 ml), H₂O (4 ml) and acetone (4 ml) was added CAN (ammonium cerium) (1.15 g, 2.1 mmol). Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. When all the starting material disappeared (around 5 min), 100 mg of NaHCO₃ powder was added and the reaction mixture was diluted with 50 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol/triethylamine=200:1:1 to 200:10:1) to give (2′R,3S,4′S,5′R)-6-chloro-4′-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-N-((trans-4-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2′-neopentyl-2-oxospiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-5′-carboxamide (MI-773) (402 mg, 68% yield). The absolute stereochemical configuration of MI-773 was determined by x-ray analysis.

MI-773 was dissolved in DCM and added TFA and then evaporated. The residue was further purified by chromatography on a C18 reverse phase semi-preparative HPLC column with solvent A (0.1% of TFA in water) and solvent B (0.1% of TFA in methanol) as eluents (gradient: 45% of solvent A and 55% of solvent B to 30% of solvent A and 70% of solvent B in 30 min) to give MI-773 as the TFA salt. NMR for MI-773 TFA: ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CD₃OD) δ 7.47 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 7.34 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.14 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 6.83 (s, 1H), 6.80 (s, 2H), 4.39 (d, J=10.0 Hz, 1H), 4.15-4.05 (m, 1H), 3.72-3.53 (m, 1H), 3.53-3.85 (m, 2H), 2.10-1.75 (m, 4H), 1.62 (d, J=12.2 Hz, 1H), 1.45-1.05 (m, 5H), 0.78 (s, 9H).

Stability of MI-773 (TFA salt): MI-773 (TFA salt) was dissolved in a water/methanol mixture (water/methanol=1:1 with 0.1% of TFA). The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature. The purity was tested using a C18 reverse phase analytical HPLC column at the time points of 0, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. The results showed transformation of MI-773 to three compounds having the same molecular weight (FIG. 25). The purity of an identical sample solution stored at 4° C. was also tested at 0 and 36 h. The results showed comparably slow transformation of MI-773 at 4° C.
